U.S. intentional homicide rates and gun control. [View all]
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate#United_StatesIf guns coming from out of state hampers gun control efforts, then can someone explain why those states with allegedly lax gun control laws have lower rates than rights restriction states? Case in point, controllers mock Texas, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Virginia, Kansas and Alaska..when perhaps they should be mocking California, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey and the District of Columbia.
Believe it or not, I'm not suggesting that gun control has much of an impact....it's pretty clear that poverty has more to do with the intentional homicide rate than guns.
